The Day of the Dead
The day of the dead is a holiday that the people of Mexico celebrate to honor their friends or ancestors who have died. The Day of the Dead is celebrated on November one & November second. They celebrate by making sugar skulls, and a special bread called “Bread of the Dead”, some people might also dress up like skeletons. They also make offerings
Here below is a image of a offering.
They put pictures of the ones who died and put stuff of what they liked on the table like day of the dead bread or flowers, but not any kind of flowers, they use the orange colored ones.
The day of the dead is celebrated in public places or private places it is often in homes or graveyards. In graveyards people clean the graves of their loved ones which they decorate with flowers, photos, candles, food and drinks. Musicians are hired to play music around the graveyard. I like to eat sugar skulls. Here is an image of a sugar skull.
The meaning of sugar skulls was that they would put the name of the person who died with frosting and put it on the person’s altar. They would make beautiful and colorful patterns on them. Some would even make sugar coffins. Here is a image of a sugar coffin.
People also like making little cute Day of the Dead cookies they use the cookie cutter of a gingerbread boy to make the outline of the skeleton then they decorate it and it’s done!
People love making art out of the day of the dead like making pictures and also might buy skeletons here below are the images.
Here is a video of The Day of the Dead.
I love celebrating the day of dead
